§ 37. Mr. STEWARTasked the Under-Secretary of State for War what are the prospects as to getting appointments for medical men who have volunteered for service and have been accepted and medically examined by the War Office in August, as there are cases where doctors have, on being accepted, resigned all professional work, and find themselves at the moment without either position or income pending the final acceptance of their services by the War Office?
§ Mr. TENNANTAbout 70 per cent. of some 900 who applied have been employed. I cannot say if or when the remainder will be called upon, but it was made clear 943 to all these gentlemen that their acceptance for service, should they be required, did not place them under any obligation to relinquish their ordinary appointments until actually called upon to serve.
